You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world

Speak & Spell (1981)
Es su album debut producido y publicado en 1981. En ese momento el grupo

estaba formado por Vince Clarke, Andrew Fletcher, Martin L. Gore y Dave
Gahan. Los 11 temas incluidos son:
New Life, I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead, Puppets, Boys Say Go, Nodisco,
What's Your Name?, Photographic, Tora! Tora! Tora!, Big Muff, Any Second
Now, Just Can't Get Enough
New Life
Vocalista principal: Dave Gahan
Escrita por: Vince Clarke
I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Transitions to another place

So the time will pass more slowly
Features fuse and your shadow's red
Like a film I've seen now show me
Your face is hidden and were out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere
I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger
I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead
New sound all around
You can hear it too
Getting hot, never stop
Just for me and you
Playing on my radio and saying that you had to go
New day turn away
Wipe away the tear
New night, feel right
Knowing that you're here
Dancing with you all the time, and don't you think that it's a crime
Back street never meet
Never say goodbye
I know where you go
But I don't know why
You say that it's from above, and I say this is modern love
Puppets
Get that feeling
Head is reeling
You think you're in control
But you don't know me babe
I can move you
I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way
I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control
Watch your action
Close reaction
And everything you're thinking babe inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do

You do unless I said
You don't know the consequences
Of the things you say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control
All the things you tried to do babe
And all the words we said before
Are only part of what I started baby
And you can't stop me anymore
Boys Say Go
You don't understand
This is a demand
And I think that I have to show you
Try to look inside
Take me for a ride
In the day and the night
Get to know you
Boys meet boys get together
Boys meet boys live forever
Don't say no
Boys say go
I can run away

If you never stay
And the rain and the pain and the sorrow
I'm not very sure
When you close the door
If the end is the same as tomorrow
Boys!
Boys!
Boys say go!
Nodisco
I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain't nodisco
There's a thousand watts in you
You take this too far
This ain't nodisco
Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance
This ain't nodisco
And you know how to dance
Move me disco
Baby don't you let go
This ain't nodisco
Part one
Act one
Everyone pretend
This ain't nodisco
This is more a story
And we're reaching the end
This ain't nodisco
Always makes me happy when you're taking a chance
This ain't nodisco
And you know how to dance
Move me disco
Baby don't you let go
This ain't nodisco
What's Your Name?
Sometimes watch you walk the street at midnight
Sometimes I can feel you in the air
Looking good
Knew you would
All the time I understood
Hey, you're such a pretty boy,
You're so pretty
Everybody seems to look your way now
(Everybody seems to look your way)
Everybody wants to know your name
(Hey, hey, what's your name)
Feeling right
Just tonight
Hear them say you're out of sight
All the boys we got to get together
All the boys together we can stand
We can go
Never know
All the things we need to show
Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)
Hey you're such a pretty boy
You're so pretty (p-r-e, double-t-y)
Photographic
A white house, a white room
The program of today
Lights on, switch on
Your eyes are far away
The map represents you

And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till you recognize the choice
I take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright light
Dark room
Bright light
Dark room
I said I'd write a letter
But I never got the time
And I'm looking to the day
I mesmerise the light
The years I spend just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second boss looking into
It seems it can't be true
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Escrita por: Martin L. Gore
They were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this a love in disguise
Or just a form of modern art

From the skies you could almost hear them cry
Tora Tora Tora
In the town they were going down
Tora Tora Tora
I had a nightmare only yesterday
You played a skeleton
You took my love then died that day
I played an American
From the skies you can almost hear them cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!
I played an American
Big Muff
Vocalista principal: Ninguno, tema instrumental
Instrumental
Any Second Now
Vocalista principal: Martin L. Gore
She remembered all the shadows and the doubts
The same film
Vivid pictures like a wall that's standing empty

And the night so still
Such a small affair a relapse someone closing
Like the nightclub door
Here again and when you speak I watch you move away
And seem so sure
She is hoping to forget and the moment
Almost slips away
When the colours move apart and I wonder
If you want to stay
And I need to change you like the words I'm reading
Don't you understand
This the warning and the message I remember
As you touch my hand
Just Can't Get Enough
When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of
We walk together
We're walking down the street
Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
It's getting hotter
It's a burning love
And when it rains
You're shining down for me
Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
You're like an angel
And you give me your love

Dreaming Of Me (Single)
En este sencillo aparecen los siguientes temas nuevos:
Dreaming Of Me, Ice Machine, Shout
Dreaming Of Me
Light switch
Man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night
Fused tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend
Filming and screening
I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming
Dreaming of me
So we left
Understanding
Cleancut so we're sounding fast
Talked of sad
I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast
Quickly I remembered
Fused and saw a face before
Timing reason
Understanding
Like association hall
Ice Machine
Running through my head secretly
The shouts of the boys in the factory
I ring you on the telephone silently
Like blood, like the wine in the darkroom scene
The darkroom scene
Darkroom scene
A letter
Once composed
Seven years long and as tall as a tree
Reading
On the wall
Emissions, efficiency
Efficiency
Efficiency
Resurrect
As a feeling
On my window
Of a past reunion
Resurrect
As a feeling
On my window
Of a past reunion
Vision
Of a picture
Like the city
And the air we breathe
The air we breathe
Air we breathe
She stood beside me once again
I knew her face
We met before in the street
Recalling all the children dancing at our feet
The dancing feet, dancing feet
Shout

She was silent trying to be
Like the girl who acted on the TV
Always knowing when to say
Wishing for a moment so that they could see
Staring in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines
Break away tonight
I wanna hold your hand
We've got to get it right
We've got to understand
Carefully watching waiting as I
Stood upon the back streets and we start to play
I was screaming louder as the
Curtains fall between us in a twisted way
Staring in the night
A picture in my room
And I think that she knew her lines
Break away tonight
Placing all the questions in the
Minutes of a game we won so long ago

Dangerous and beautiful the
Radio transmission that I have to know
You could never run
You could never stay
And I think you belong to me
Break away tonight

A Broken Frame (1982)
Segundo album del grupo, primero sin Vince Clarke, producido y publicado en
1982. En ese momento el grupo estaba formado por Andrew Fletcher, Martin
L. Gore y Dave Gahan. Durante la gira posterior, Alan Wilder participa como
músico de apoyo, pasando a formar parte del grupo desde entonces. Los 10
temas incluidos son:
Leave In Silence, My Secret Garden, Monument, Nothing To Fear, See You,

Satellite, The Meaning Of Love, A Photograph Of You, Shouldn't Have Done
That, The Sun And The Rainfall
Leave In Silence
I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing's going to save us from the big drop
Reached our natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations

If I only knew the answer
Or I thought we had a chance
Or I could stop this
I would stop this thing
From spreading like a cancer
What can I say
I don't want to play anymore
What can I say
I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
We've been running around in circles all year
Doing this and that and getting nowhere
This will be the last time
I think I said that last time
If I only had a potion
Some magical lotion
That could stop this
I would set the wheels in motion
My Secret Garden
My secret garden's not so secret anymore

Run from the house holding my head in my hands
Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel
It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it!
My secret garden's not so secret anymore!
No, my secret garden's not so secret anymore!
Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water
Can't stay long, here comes the reason why -
She'll catch me if she can,
Take me by the hand
I'll have to keep on running
And I just can't see the fun in
My secret garden not being secret anymore!
It used to be so easy
On days such as these she'd
Search and search for hours
In among the flowers
I loved it! - I loved her!
Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it!
Read her book, take a look - I loved her!
It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret

And I had to go and leak it!
My secret garden's not so secret anymore!
Monument
When the site was found
We laid the foundations down
It didn't take long before
They came back tumbling down
Don't build at night
You need a little light
How else are you going to see
What it is going to be like
So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the morning light
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful site
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes
When you need glasses
My monument
It fell down
My monument
It fell down
Work all of my days for this kind of praise
It fell down
Work all of my days
It fell down
Nothing To Fear
Instrumental
See You
All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled the way it was before
Well I'll try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you
And I won't even touch you
All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true
I remember the days when we walked through the woods
We'd sit on a bench for a while

I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes
You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance
But I swear I won't touch you
Well I know five years is a long time and that times change
But I think that you'll find people are basically the same
If the water's still flowing we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do
And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in
We can relive our youth
But we'll just stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think I still love you
Satellite
Now hear this my friends
I'll never be the same again
Going to lock myself in a cold black room
Going to shadow myself in a veil of gloom
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
Driven to this point by a chain of events
Each one pushed me nearer the edge
Going to send my message through to you

You'll receive the signal too
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
Higher, Higher
Disillusioned - I was disenchanted
Forgot the love that had been implanted
Heard the lies and I felt the cold
It broke my heart and I lost control
Now I'm a satellite of a free state
I'm a satellite of hate
The Meaning Of Love
I've read more than a hundred books
Seeing love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer
I'm still no nearer
The meaning of love
Noted down all my observations
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldn't say with precision
Know it's a feeling and it comes from above
But what's the meaning

The meaning of love
(tell me)
From the notes that I've made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
Well I could be wrong
I'm just not sure you see
I've never been in love before
Next I asked several friends of mine
If they could spare a few minutes of their time
Their looks suggested that I've lost my mind
Tell me the answer
My Lord high above
Tell me the meaning
The meaning of love
From the notes that I've made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
Well I could be wrong
I'm just not sure you see
I've never been in love before
The meaning of love
(tell me)
Tell me the meaning of love
(tell me)
A Photograph Of You
What good is a photograph of you
Everytime I look at it
It makes me feel blue
What use is a souvenir
Of something we once had
When all it ever does is
Make me feel bad
I wish I could tear it up
But then again I haven't the guts
I wish I could throw it on the fire
I wish I could
But to say I would
I'd be a liar
What good is a colour print
Of a little baby doll
When just one little glance
Is enough to make me feel dull
I hoped I would misplace it
But then I take such good care of it
I wish it would disappear
I say I wish
But then I relish
It being here
Shouldn't Have Done That
Plans made in the nursery
Can change the course of history
Remember that
Mummy's annoyed, says go and play
Don't show your face
Stay away all day
Shouldn't have done that
A small boy and his infantry
Marching around so naturally
Shouldn't have done that
Grows up and goes to school
Such a nice boy
Obeys all the rules
Mummy's proud of that
Leaves school to follow his ambition
Knows what he wants
To be a politician
Shouldn't have done that!
The Sun And The Rainfall

Someone will call
Something will fall
And smash on the floor
Without reading the text
Know what comes next
Seen it before
And it's painful
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
A game's not worth playing
Over and over again
You're the one I like best
You retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you
Don't know what I'd do
Unpredictable like the sun
And the rainfall

See You (Single)
Now This Is Fun
Now This Is Fun
Here speaks the voice of reason
It's talking to me
Loud and clearly
And obviously
It's something to say
Here comes another sentence
It is relentless
It tries my patience
But nevertheless
It's for our concern
We can't see the benefits

So we'll ignore it
Or disobey it
And then we'll say that
This is fun
This is real fun
This is fun
The Meaning Of Love (Single)
Instrumental
Construction Time Again (1983)
Tercer album del grupo, donde vuelven a ser un cuarteto. Se publica en 1983,
estando formado el grupo por Andrew Fletcher, Martin L. Gore, Dave Gahan y
Alan Wilder. El album incluye los siguientes 9 temas:
Love, In Itself, More Than A Party, Pipeline, Everything Counts, Two Minute
Warning, Shame, The Landscape Is Changing, Told You So, And Then
Love, In Itself
All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts
And the definite lasts
That lay in store for me
There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough

In itself
Consequently
I've a tendency
To be unhappy, you see
The thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds
Get to me
All of the absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts
And the uncertainties
That lay in store for us
More Than A Party
Lots of surprises in store
This isn't a party
It's a whole lot more
We've had enough of this blind man's bluff
You've kept us in the dark for long enough
This is more than a party
More than a party
More than a party

Keep telling us we're to have fun
Then take all the ice cream so we've got none
The failed magician waves his wand
And in an instant the laughter's gone
Loads of surprises in store
This isn't a party
It's a whole lot more
Pipeline
Get out the crane
Construction time again
What is it this time
We're laying a pipeline
Let the beads of sweat flow
Until the ends have met through
Could take a long time
Working on the pipeline
Taking from the greedy
Giving to the needy
On this golden day
Work's been sent our way
That could last a lifetime
Working on the pipeline

From the heart of our land
To the mouth of the man
Must reach him sometime
We're laying a pipeline
Taking from the greedy
Giving to the needy
Everything Counts
The handshake seals the contract
From the contract there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract, still intact
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves —after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now see just how

The lies and deceit gained a little more power
Confidence —taken in
By a suntan and a grin
It's a competitive world
Two Minute Warning
Escrita por: Alan Wilder
We're lying by the orange sky
Two million miles across the land
Scattered to the highest high
Expect they'll either laugh or cry
No sex, no consequence, no sympathy
You're good enough to heat
Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered

The dawning of another year
Marks time for those who understand
One in four still here
While you and I go hand in hand
No radio, no sound, no sin, no sanctuary
So welcome to your last
The sun, the solitude, the cemetary
So welcome to your last
Shame
Do you ever get that feeling
When the guilt begins to hurt
Seeing all the children
Wallowing in dirt
Crying out with hunger
Crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
When it starts to rain
Soap won't wash away your shame
That something isn't right
Seeing your brother's fists
Clenched ready for the fight

Soon the fighting turns to weapons
And the weapons turn to wounds
So the doctors stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch
Surgery won't improve your pain
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid
Do you ever get the feeling
That something can be done
To eradicate these problems
And make the people one
Something like a nagging itch
And all the while the doctors
Stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch
Hope alone won't remove the stains
Shame
The Landscape Is Changing

The landscape is changing
The landscape is crying
Thousands of acres of forest are dying
Carbon copies from the hills above the forest line
Acid streams are flowing ill across the countryside
'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
Now we're re-arranging
There's no use denying
Mountains and valleys, can't you hear them sighing
Evolution, the solution or the certainty
Can you imagine this intrusion of their privacy
Token gestures, some semblance of intelligence
Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance
Told You So
And do those feet in modern times
Walk upon the flowers
And walk upon their brothers
While their heads are busy lying low
Trying to keep to cover… oh

Something went wrong
Along the way
Everybody's waiting for
Judgment day
So they can go
Told you so
Bring me my gun of itching desire
Bring me my bullets and I will fire
Sights set higher than the tall church spire
Standing in line
The blind lead the blind
Waiting and waiting
For an overdue sign
Brothers and sisters
Playing Chinese whispers
If things aren't suited
Then they'll get diluted
There's one more dead with a hole in his head
He shouldn't have said all the things he said
Many tears were shed for the blood he bled
And Then
Let's take a map of the world

Tear it into pieces
All of the boys and the girls
Will see how easy it is
To pull it all down and start again
From the top to the bottom and then
I'll have faith or, I prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse
All that we need at the start's
Universal Revolution (That's all!)
And if we trust in our hearts
We'll find the solutions
Took a plane across the world
Got in a car
When I had reached my destination
I hadn't gone far
Let's take the whole of the world
The mountains and the sand
Let all the boys and the girls
Shape it in their hands

Get The Balance Right (Single)
Get The Balance Right, The Great Outdoors
Get The Balance Right
There's more besides
Joyrides
The little house in the countryside
Understand
Learn to demand
Compromise
And sometimes lie
Get the balance right
Get the balance right
Be responsible
Respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring
Help the helpless
But always remain
Ultimately selfish
When you think you've got a hold of it all
You haven't got a hold at all
When you reach the top
Get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall
You're gonna fall
It's almost predictable
Almost
Don't turn this way
Don't turn that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
First to the left
Then back to the right
Twist and turn 'til you've got it right
The Great Outdoors
Escrita por: Martin L. Gore, Alan Wilder
Instrumental
Everything Counts (Single)
Work Hard
Work Hard
Escrita por: Martin L. Gore and Alan Wilder
You've got to work hard
You've got to work hard
If you want anything at all
Nothing comes easy
And that's a fact
Nothing comes easy
But a broken back
Nothing comes easy
It never will
Nothing comes easy
But a broken will

So work hard
Love, In It Self (Single)
Fools
Fools
Don't know the reason why I
Think I've been here before
This place seems so familiar
But then I can't be sure
Here comes that time again when
You'll walk right out the door
Don't tell me secrets anymore
And fools don't run away
You'll be followed another day
And all the chances that fall your way
Are in the fire on your dying day

So call me now and tell me that you're home
Can't see the sense in crying
There's too many tears to fall
My thoughts are multiplying
So I'll try to save them all

Something To Do
My little girl
Won't you come with me
Come with me
Tell me
Is there something to do
I'm going crazy with boredom
Come with me
Tell me
Grey sky over a black town
I can feel depression

All around
You've got your leather boots on
I can't stand another drink
It's surprising this town
Doesn't sink
Your pretty dress is oil stained
From working too hard
For too little
You're feeling the boredom too
I'd gladly go with you
I'd put your leather boots on
I'd put your pretty dress on
Lie To Me
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Don't mean a lot now

Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
There's some truth in it
Promises made for convenience
Aren't necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
That's lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be coming my way
People Are People

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
So we're different colours
And we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you so what could I have done
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
Help me understand
Now you're punching
And you're kicking
And you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fists

It Doesn't Matter
I am happy
That I have you
Even though you're not here now
I know somewhere
You are dreaming
Though it's definitely not of me
It doesn't matter
If all this shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I'm praying
That we're staying
Together
I am warmed
By your friendship
Even when you're far away
And I'm happy
In the knowledge
We may never see the day
When I kiss you
And you kiss me
Don't pretend you miss me
The worst kind

Of diseases mind
Is on filled with jealousy
If we should meet again
Don't try to solve the puzzle
Just lay down next to me
And please don't move a muscle
I will thank you
Most of all for
The respect you have for me
I'm embarrassed
It overwhelms me
Because I don't deserve any
Stories Of Old
Take a look at unselected cases
You'll find love has been wrecked
By both sides compromising
Amounting to a disastrous effect
You hear stories of old
Of princes bold
With riches untold
Happy souls
Casting it all aside

To take some bride
To have the girl of their dreams
At their side
But not me
I couldn't do that
Not me
I'm not like that
I couldn't sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
I really like you
I'm attracted to you
The way you move
The things you do
I'll probably burn in hell
For saying this
But I'm really in heaven
Whenever we kiss
But Oh no!
You won't change me
You can try
For an eternity
I wouldn't sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
Now I've got things to do
You have too
And I've got to be me
You've got to be you
So take my hand
And feel these lips
And let's savour a kiss
Like we'd savour a sip
Of vintage wine
One more time
Let's surrender
To this love divine
But we won't sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
Somebody
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support

And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it
Master And Servant
There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let's play master and servant

It's a lot like life
And that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life
They're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled
At the end of the day
Come on master and servant
If You Want
Working week's come to its end
Party time is here again
Everyone can come if they want to
If you want to be with me
You can come with me if you want to
Exercise your basic right

We could build a building site
From the bricks of shame is built the hope
Even though you may still not want to
Let tomorrow and today
Bring a life of ecstacy
Wipe away your tears of confusion
You can come with me if you want to
Even though you still may not want to
Blasphemous Rumours
Girl of 16
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again

16 candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
Girl of 18
Fell in love with everything
Found new life
In Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine
Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother's eye
People Are People (Single)
In Your Memory
In Your Memory
Put up the barriers
Shut down your senses
Cover up with all of your pretences
See no evil
Your eyes are blunted
We are the hunters
We are the hunted
Place it in your memory
Leave it in your past
But don't forget
Taking a tumble
I'm taking a dive
Sometimes I stumble when my mind's made up
Reaction levels
Seem strangely muted
Ordinary acts of fun have been diluted
Place it in your memory
Leave it in your past
But don't forget

Master & Servant (Single)
(Set Me Free) Remotivate Me, Are People People?
(Set Me Free) Remotivate Me
Set me free
Remotivate me
Set me burning
After years in deep freeze
My body is yearning
For a new lease on life
Add a little spice
Set me free
Remotivate me
Give me a reason
To scream and shout

Give me something
To get excited about
When everything is looking dull
I'm sure it isn't impossible to
Set me free
Remotivate me
Don't think I'm impatient
Because I'm willing to wait
But something must happen
Before it gets too late
It could be my imagination
But wasn't there more than this numb sensation
Set me free
Remotivate me
Set me free

Shake The Disease (Single)
Shake The Disease, Flexible
Shake The Disease
I'm not going down on my knees
Begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery
And torture for me
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can
I've tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me
Here is a plea
From my heart to you

Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these
Understand me
Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted
To each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before
That I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there
Flexible
Fame
Can have strange effects
Money
Can have strange effects
I ask myself
Is it a sin
To be flexible
When the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
Drink
Can alter you
Girls
Can have strange effects, too
We all know boats don't last
We all know cars are fast

It's Called A Heart (Single)
It's Called a Heart
It's Called a Heart
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you
Will you keep it safe for me
I'll lend it to you
If you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
There's a sun shining in the sky

But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified, it's my heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be goodhearted
Yes I tried my best
And more or less
I spoke from my heart
There's a lot to be learnt
And you learn when you heart gets burnt
Hearts could never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back, I'll take my heart
But I will try my best and more or less
I will speak from my heart
Yes I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart

Black Celebration
Let's have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone

Can't you see
Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like
Me
I want to take you
In my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today
Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
I look to you
And your strong belief
Me, I want relief
Tonight
Consolation
I want so much
Want to feel your touch
Tonight
Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today
Black celebration
I'll drink to that
Black celebration
Tonight
Fly On The Windscreen
Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight
Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Now
Touch me
Touch me
There are lambs for the slaughter
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Now
Touch me
Touch me
A Question Of Lust
Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm
Apologies
Are all you ever seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know…
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weakness
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know…
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home
What we've built up
Crumble to dust

It Doesn't Matter Two
As I lay here with you
The shame lies with us
We talk of love and trust
That doesn't matter
Though we may be the last in the world
We feel like pioneers
Telling hopes and fears
To one another
And oh what a feeling
Inside of me
It might last for an hour
Wounds aren't healing
Inside of me
Though it feels good now
I know it's only for now
The feeling is intense
You grip me with your eyes
And then I realise
It doesn't matter
Sometimes

Sometimes
Only sometimes
I question everything
And I'm the first to admit
If you catch me in a mood like this
I can be tiring
Even embarassing
But you must
Feel the same
When you look around
You can't tell me honestly
You're happy with what you see
Oh sometimes
Only sometimes
You must be…
You must be…
As embarassing as me
Sometimes
A Question Of Time
I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
Well now you're only fifteen
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say
It's running out for you
It won't be long
Until you do
Exactly what they want you to
I can see them now Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one
It's running out for you
It won't be long
Until you do
It won't be long
Until you do
Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds
It should be better
It should be better with you
Stripped
Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss
Take my hand
Where everything's ours
For a few hours
Let me see you
Let me see you
Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me
Let me see you
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me
Let me see you
Let me hear you crying
Just for me
Here Is The House
Here is the house
Where it all happened
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And as it happens
It happens here
In this house
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
And there's someone
Calling on the telephone

Let's stay home
It's cold outside
And I have so much
To confide to you
With or without words
I'll confide everything
Here is the house
Under this roof
And as it happens
It happens here
In this house
So we stay at home
And I'm by your side
And you know
What's going on inside
Inside my heart
Inside this house
And I just want to
Let it out for you

Here is the house
Under this roof
World Full Of Nothing
Close
Naked
Skin on skin
Tears are falling
Tears of joy
Her first boy
His first girl
Makes a change
In a world full of nothing
Though it's not love
It means something
She's lonely
And he says
It's for her only
That he lusts
She doesn't trust him
Nothing is true
But he will do
In a world full of nothing
It means something
It's easy to slip away
And believe it all
It means something
Dressed In Black
She's dressed in black again
And I'm falling down again
Down to the floor again
I'm begging for more again
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black
My mind wanders endlessly
On paths where she's leading me
With games that she likes to play

And words that she doesn't say
Not when whe're alone
And she's dressed in black
As a picture of herself
She's a picture of the world
A reflection of you
A reflection of me
And it's all there to see
If you only give in
To the fire within
Dressed in black again
Shadows fall onto me
As she stands there over me
And waits to encompass me
I lay here helplessly
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black
Dressed in black again
New Dress
Sex jibe husband murders wife
Bomb blast victim fights for life
Girl Thirteen attacked with knife

Princess Di is wearing a new dress
Jet airliner shot from sky
Famine horror, millions die
Earthquake terror figures rise
In black townships fires blaze
Prospects better premier says
Within sight are golden days

Stripped (Single)
But Not Tonight, Breathing In Fumes, Black Day
But Not Tonight
Oh God it's raining
But I'm not complaining
It's filling me up with new life
The stars in the sky
Bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way tonight
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
Just for a day
On a day like today
I'll get away from this constant debauchery

The wind in my hair
Makes me so aware
How good it is to live tonight
In years
The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight
Oh God it's raining
And I'm not containing
My pleasure at being so wet
Here on my own
All on my own
How good it feels to be alone tonight
In years
The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
When my eyes had been so red
I'd been mistaken for dead
But not tonight

Breathing In Fumes
Nothing on this
For a few hours
Let me see you
Taste when we kiss
Let me see you
Stripped down to the
Let me see you
Stripped down to the
Let me see you
Breathing in fumes
I'm breathing in fumes

Breathing in fumes
Black Day

Celebrate the fact
Celebrate the fact
Black day
Black day
I want to take you in my arms
Forgeting all I couldn't do today

Never Let Me Down Again
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by

Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
Promises me I'm safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
Never let me down
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight
The Things You Said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them

I never denied them
How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted
You tried them
I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth
I've never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed
Thought that you liked them

They know me better than that
Strangelove
There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverful
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

There'll be days
When I stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Pain will you return it
I'll say it again —pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again
I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to be
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again

I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
Sacred
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary
So here is my confesion
It's an obsession
I'm a firm believer
And a warm receiver
And I've made my decision
This is religion
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story

Of love's eternal glory
Spreading the news around the world
Taking the word to boys and girls
I'm a firm believer
And a warm receiver
And I will go down on my knees
When I see beauty
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
Little 15
Little 15
You help her forget
The world outside
You're not part of it yet
And if you could drive

You could drive her away
To a happier place
To a happier day
That exists in your mind
And in your smile
She could escape there
Just for a while
Little 15
Little 15
Why take the smooth with the rough
When things run smooth
It's already more than enough
She knows your mind
Is not yet in league
With the rest of the world
And it's little intrigues
Do you understand
Do you know what she means
As time goes by
And when you've seen what she's seen
You will
Little 15
Little 15
Why does she have to defend
Her feelings inside

Why pretend
She's not had a life
A life of near misses
Now all that she wants
Is 3 little wishes
She wants to see with your eyes
She wants to smile with your smile
She wants a nice surprise
Every once in a while
Little 15
Behind The Wheel
My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care
Tonight
I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate
Now
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel

I'd rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap
Tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
I Want You Now
I want you now
Tomorrow won't do
There's a yearning inside
And it's showing through

Reach out your hands
And accept my love
We've waited for too long
Enough is enough
I want you now
My heart is aching
My body is burning
My hands are shaking
My head is turning
You understand
It's so easy to choose
We've got time to kill
We've got nothing to lose
I want you now
And I don't mean to sound
Like one of the boys
That's now what I'm trying to do
I don't want to be
Like one of the boys
I just want you now
Because I've got a love
A love that won't wait
A love that is growing
And it's getting late
Do you know what it means

To be left this way
When everyone's gone
And the feelings they stay
I want you now
To Have And To Hold
I need to be cleansed
It's time to make amends
For all of the fun
The damage is done
And I feel diseased
I'm down on my knees
And I need forgiveness
Someone to bear witness
To the goodness within
Beneath the sin
Although I may flirt
With all kinds of dirt
To the point of disease
Now I want release
From all this decay
Take it away
And somewhere
There's someone who cares
With a heart of gold
To have and to hold
Nothing
Sitting target
Sitting waiting
Anticipating
Nothing
Nothing
Life
Is full of surprises
It advertises
Nothing
Nothing
What am I trying to do
What am I trying to say
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know
When you woke up today
Sitting target
Sitting praying
God is saying
Nothing
Nothing
Always
Knows the prospects
Learn to expect
Nothing
Nothing

Never Let Me Down Again (Single)
Everybody's looking for someone to follow
Finding the whole thing hard to swallow
Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason I've a reason to give
Pleasure, little treasure
Everybody's looking for a new sensation
Everybody's talking about the state of the nation
Everybody's searching for a promised land
Everybody's failing to understand

If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give
Maternity frocks and paternity suits
If that's what you want
They're waiting for you
Everybody needs some reason or other
You'll find a reason when you discover
If you're looking for a reason
I've a reason to give

Well if you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way
Take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago

More than two thousand miles
All the way
Well it goes to St. Louis

You'll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
If you get hip to this kind of trip
And go take that California trip
Well it goes to St. Louis
Down to Missouri

And you won't have to move
You just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea

And we won't need a map
Believe me
Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is
Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips
All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in motion
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is
Sweetest Perfection
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction

Couldn't finely hone
The sweetest infection
Of body and mind
Sweetest injection
Of any kind
I stop and I stare too much
Afraid that I care too much
And I hardly dare to touch
For fear that the spell may be broken
When I need a drug in me
And it brings out the thug in me
Feel something tugging me
Then I want the real thing not tokens
Things you'd expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But everyone knows what has got me
Takes me completely
Touches me sweetly
Reaches so deeply
I know that nothing can stop me
Sweetest perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I wouldn't trade

Takes me complelty
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
Nothing can stop me
Personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess

I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Someone who cares
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Halo

You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head it's worse
There's a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free
Can't you see
All love's luxuries
Are here for you and me
And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
Bring your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms
And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
Waiting For The Night
Vocalista principal: Dave Gahan and Martin L. Gore
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear
And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes

Things looked even better
Than when they were opened
Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you hear
Is tranquility
Enjoy The Silence
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken

To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Interlude No. 2 - Crucified
Vocalista principal: Andrew Fletcher
Crucified
Policy Of Truth
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied

With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth
Never again is what you swore
The time before
The time before
Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

The time before
The time before
Blue Dress
Put it on
And don't say a word
Put it on
The one that I prefer
Put it on
And stand before my eyes
Put it on
Please don't question why
Can you believe
Something so simple
Something so trivial
Makes me a happy man
Say you believe
Just how easy
It is to please me
Because when you learn

You'll know what makes the world turn
Put it on
I can feel so much
Put it on
I don't need to touch
Put it on
Here before my eyes
Put it on
Because you realise
And you believe
Something so worthless
Serves a purpose
It makes me a happy man
Say you believe
Just how easy
It is to please me
Because when you learn
You'll know what makes the world turn
Interlude No. 3
Instrumental
Clean
Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
I don't understand
What destiny's planned
I'm starting to grasp
What is in my own hands
I don't claim to know
Where my holiness goes
I just know that I like
What is starting to show
Sometimes
As years go by
All the feelings inside

Twist and they turn
As they ride with the tide
I don't advise
And I don't criticise
I just know what I like
With my own eyes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Personal Jesus (Single)
Dangerous
Dangerous
The things you do
Aren't good for my health
The moves you make
You make for yourself
The means you use
Aren't meant to confuse
Although they do
They're the ones that I would choose
And I wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me anyway
Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous
Know I will come to harm
The lies you tell
Aren't meant to deceive
They're not there
For me to believe
I've heard
Your vicious words
You know by now
It takes a lot to see me hurt
And I couldn't take it any other way
But there's a price I have to pay

World In My Eyes (Single)
Happiest Girl, Sea Of Sin
Happiest Girl
Happiest girl I ever knew
Wanted to feel the joy
Flow between our lips
Flow between our hips
Why do you smile the smile you do
Pass between our eyes

Pass between our thighs
And I would have to pinch her
Just to see if she was real
Just to watch the smile fade away
And see the pain she'd feel
Wanted to feel her joy
Feel it deep within
Wanted to feel her joy
Penetrate my skin
Why do you smile the smile you do
Sea Of Sin
Sea of sin
I'm swimming in
And I'm taking a dive
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it keeps me alive
It gets better and better
As it gets wetter and wetter
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
But I don't care
Sea of sin
Through thick and thin
For better or worse
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it quenches my thirst
You look cheaper and cheaper
As we sink deeper and deeper
Sea of sin
'Cause I've been there
Here under God's sky
His watchful eye
And all of the lies
My consolation prize
Sea of sin
My second skin
My home from home
When I'm in doubt
My hands reach out
And I'm never alone
It gets wetter and wetter
As it gets better and better

Sea of sin
And I'm prepared
Sea of sin
Yes I'm aware
Sea of sin
'Cause I've been there
Sea of sin
And I don't care
Sea of sin
And I don't care

Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993)
Octavo trabajo de estudio de la banda que integran Andrew Fletcher, Martin

L. Gore, Dave Gahan y Alan Wilder en 1993 cuando es publicado. El album
está compuesto por 10 temas:
I Feel You, Walking In My Shoes, Condemnation, Mercy In You, Judas, In Your

Room, Get Right With Me, Interlude No. 4, Rush, One Caress, Higher Love
I Feel You
I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through Babylon
This is the morning of our love

It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion
I feel you
Your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes
I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take
Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by
Walking In My Shoes
I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon

Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions

Condemnation
Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side
Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride
If for honesty
You want apologies
I don't sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime
Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time
If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it's no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
Mercy In You
You know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A longing to feed
On the mercy in you
I can't conceal
The way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel
When I have to deal
With the mercy in you
I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you
When here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you
I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you
When here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you
Judas

Is simplicity best
Or simply the easiest
The narrowest path
Is always the holiest
So walk on barefoot for me
Suffer some misery
If you want my love
If you want my love
Man will survive
The harshest conditions
And stay alive
Through difficult decisions
So make up your mind for me
Walk the line for me
If you want my love
If you want my love
Idle talk
And hollow promises
Cheating Judases
Doubting Thomases
Don't just stand there and shout it
Do something about it
You can fulfill
Your wildest ambitions

And I'm sure you will
Lose your inhibitions
So open yourself for me
Risk your health for me
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
If you want my love
In Your Room
In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave
In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here
Will you lead me to your armchair

Or leave me lying here
Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here
In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here
Your favourite passion
Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Get Right With Me

I will have faith in man
That is hard to understand
Show some humility
You have the ability
Get right with me
Friends, if you've lost your way
You will find it again some day
Come down from your pedestals
And open your mouths that's all
Get right with me
Life is such a short thing
That I cannot comprehend
But if this life were a bought thing
There are ways I know we'd mend
People, take my advice
Already told you once, once or twice
Don't waste your energy
Making apologies
Get right with me
Interlude No. 4

Instrumental
Rush
Walk with me
Open your sensitive mouth
And talk to me
Hold out your delicate hands
And feel me
Couldn't make any plans
To conceal me
Open your sensitive mouth
Hold out your delicate hands
With such a sensitive mouth
I'm easy to see through
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you
Cry for you
Seen the tears
Roll down from my eyes for you
Heard my truth
Distorted to lies for you
Watched my love
Becoming a prize for you
Seen the tears in my eyes
Heard my truth turn to lies
Seen the tears in my eyes
I'm not proud of what I do
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you
I come up to meet you
Up there somewhere
When I rush to greet you
My soul is bared
Gave more for you
Dropped my crutches
And crawled on the floor for you
Went looking behind every door for you
And because of the things
That I saw for you
I spiritually grew
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you
One Caress

Well I'm down on my knees again
And I pray to the only one
Who has the strength
To bear the pain
To forgive all the things that I've done
Oh girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it's hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed
When you think you've tried every road
Every avenue
Take one more look
At what you found old
And in it you'll find something new
I'm shying from the light
I always loved the night
And now you offer me eternal darkness
I have to believe that sin
Can make a better man
It's the mood that I am in
That's left us back where we began

Higher Love
I can taste more than feel
This burning inside is so real
I can almost lay my hands upon
The warm glow that lingers on
Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love
I surrender all control
To the desire that consumes me whole
And leads me by the hand to infinity
That lies in wait at the heart of me
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love
Heaven bound on the wings of love
There's so much that you can rise above
Moved, moved, by a higher love
By a higher love
I surrender heart and soul
Sacrificed to a higher goal
Moved, moved by a higher love

By a higher love
Walking In My Shoes (Single)
My Joy
My Joy
My joy
The air that I breathe
My joy
In God I believe
My joy
You move me
My joy
The blood in my veins
My joy
Flows in your name
My joy
You move me
I'm not a mountain, no
You move me
My joy
Heavenly bliss
My joy
The pleasures I've missed
My joy
You move me
I'm not a mountain, no
You move me
Condemnation (Single)
Death's Door
Death's Door
Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, among the blessed
Mother are you waiting
Father are you pacing
I'm coming home
I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, in my Sunday best
Mother are you anxious
Father are you gracious
I'm coming home
I've been away too long

For so long you've been strong
I've been away too long
I know that it was wrong
But I'm coming home
Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, have I passed the test
Mother are you praying
Father I am saying
I'm coming home

Ultra (1997)
La banda vuelve a ser un trío tras la marcha de Alan Wilder. Este noveno
trabajo se publica en 1997 con Andrew Fletcher, Martin L. Gore, y Dave
Gahan como integrantes. El album lo componen estos 12 temas:
Barrel Of A Gun, The Love Thieves, Home, It's No Good, Uselink, Useless,
Sister Of Night, Jazz Thieves, Freestate, The Bottom Line, Insight, Junior
Painkiller
Barrel Of A Gun
Do you mean this horny creep
Set upon weary feet
Who looks in need of sleep
That doesn't come
This twisted, tortured mess
This bed of sinfulness
Who's longing for some rest
And feeling numb
What do you expect of me

What is it you want
Whatever you've planned for me
I'm not the one
A vicious appetite
Visits me each night
And won't be satisfied
Won't be denied
An unbearable pain
A beating in my brain
That leaves the mark of Cain
Right here inside
What am I supposed to do
When everything that I've done
Is leading me to conclude
I'm not the one
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Is there something you need from me
Are you having your fun
I never agreed to be
Your holy one
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
The Love Thieves

Oh the tears that you weep
For the poor tortured souls
Who fall at your feet
With all their love begging bowls
All the clerks and the tailors
The sharks and the sailors
All good at their trades
But they'll always be failures
Alms for the poor
For the wretched disciples
And the love that they swore
With their hearts on the bible
Beseeching the honour
To sit at your table
And feast on your holiness
As long as they're able
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirits shall live on in

The hearts of all lovers
You're holding court
With your lips and your smile
Your body's a halo
Their minds are on trial
Sure as adam is eve
Sure as Jonah turned whaler
They're crooked love thieves
And you are their jailor
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers
Home
Here is a song
From the wrong side of town
Where I'm bound
To the ground
By the loneliest sound
That pounds from within
And is pinning me down
Here is a page
From the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you
For bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found
That I belong here
The heat and the sickliest
Sweet smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees
And my feet
But I'm drowning in time
To a desperate beat
And I thank you
For showing me home
Finally I've found
That I belong
Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath
God send the only true friend
I call mine
Pretend that I'll make amends
The next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you
For showing me home
Finally I've found
That I belong here
It's No Good
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run, but you cannot hide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realise
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide
It's understood
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
It's understood
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
Uselink
Instrumental
Useless
Well it's about time
It's beginning to hurt
Time you made up your mind

Just what is it all worth
All my useless advice
All my hanging around
All your cutting down to size
All my bringing you down
Watch the clock on the wall
Feel the slowing of time
Hear a voice in the hall
Echoing in my mind
All your stupid ideals
You've got your head in the clouds
You should see how it feels
With your feet on the ground
Here I stand the accused
With your fist in my face
Feeling tired and bruised
With the bitterest taste
All my useless advice
All my hanging around
All your cutting down to size
All my bringing you down
All your stupid ideals
You've got your head in the clouds
You should see how it feels
With your feet on the ground

Sister Of Night
Sister of night
When the hunger descends
And your body's a fire
An inferno that never ends
An eternal flame
That burns in desire's name
Sister of night
When the longing returns
Giving voice to the flame
Calling you through flesh that burns
Breaking down your will
To move in for the kill
Oh sister
Come for me
Embrace me
Assure me
Hey sister
I feel it too
Sweet sister
Just feel me
I'm trembling
You heal me
Hey sister
I feel it too
Sister of night
In your saddest dress
As you walk through the light
You're desperate to impress
So you slide to the floor
Feeling insecure
Sister of night
With the loneliest eyes
Tell yourself it's alright
He'll make such a perfect prize
But the cold light of day
Will give the game away
Oh sister
Come for me
Embrace me
Assure me
Hey sister
I feel it too
Sweet sister
Just feel me
I'm trembling
You heal me
Hey sister
I feel it too
Jazz Thieves
Instrumental
Freestate
I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional deprivation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your feelings show
Picking up the conversation
Deep in your imagination
Tune into the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow
Step out of your cage

And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state
I can taste the tears falling
The bitterness inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow
Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state
The Bottom Line

Like a cat
Dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out
To do it all over again
I'll be back for more
It's something
That is out of our hands
Something we will never understand
It's a hidden law
The apple falls
Destiny calls
I follow you
Like a pawn
On the eternal board
Who's never quite sure
What he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive
It's gone
The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you
I'm yearning
I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning
Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned
each and every night
I'm dying to(o)
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
Insight
This is an insight
Into my life
This is a strange flight
I'm taking
My true will
Carries me along
This is a soul dance
Embracing me
This is the first chance
To put things right
Moving on
Guided by the light
And the spirit of love
Is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
The fire still burns
Wisdom of ages
Rush over me
Heighten my senses
Enlighten me
Lead me on
Eternally
And the spirit of love
Is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
I'm talking to you now
Whatever you do now
you've got to give love
The world still turns
I'm talking to you now

Only When I Lose Myself, Surrender, Headstar
Only When I Lose Myself
It's only when I lose myself in someone else
That I find myself
I find myself
Something beautiful is happening inside for me
Something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery
I feel hypnotised
I feel paralysed
I have found heaven
There's a thousand reasons
Why I shouldn't spend my time with you
For every reason not to be here

I can think of two
To keep me hanging on
Feeling nothing's wrong
Inside your heaven
That I find myself
I find myself
I can feel the emptiness inside me
Fade and disappear
There's a feeling of contentment
Now that you are here
I feel satisfied
I belong inside
Your velvet heaven
Did I need to sell my soul for pleasure like this
Did I have to lose control to treasure your kiss
Did I need to place my heart in the palm of your hand
Before I could even start to understand
That I find myself
I find myself
Surrender

Laying on your holy bed
By the hallowed door
Feeling like an infidel
Not worthy of your call
Tempted by your innocence
Beckoned to my fate
I won't face the consequence
I wouldn't hesitate
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture
Rushing through my veins
Passion
Flaming
In my heart
Heavenly surrender once again
Yeah
Shackled like an animal
Chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice
To love's eternal fight
Tame me with your tenderness
And break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly
Tear my world apart

Rapture
Passion
Flaming
In my heart
Heavenly surrender once again
Yeah
We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel
Rapture
Yeah

album en 2001. El trabajo incluye estos 13 temas:
Dream On, Shine, The Sweetest Condition, When The Body Speaks, The Dead
Of Night, Lovetheme, Freelove, Comatose, I Feel Loved, Breathe, Easy Tiger,

Dream On
As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see
Hey you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you

But careful what you're giving
There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating
Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without it lives within you
Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching
Can you feel a little love
Dream on dream on
Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It's well rehearsed
It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallowed ground
Where holiness is never found
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

Dream on dream on
Shine
Put on your blindfold
And a dress that's tight
And come with me
On a mystery night
Open your eyes
Follow our stars under a painted sky
We'll leave the world behind
We're learning to fly
We used to get by
Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We'll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me on
I was blind and I saw the light
My angel coming
In a brilliant white
Shine for me
You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity

Strung up by your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebody has to
Shine for me
It's difficult not to
Shine for me
Follow our stars under a painted sky
We'll leave the world behind
We're learning to fly
We used to get by
Forget the pictures on your TV screen
We'll steal the visions
That you keep for your dreams
You can turn me on
You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity
Strung up by your insecurities
You can shine for me
Somebody has to
Shine for me
Shine for me
Somebody has to
Shine for me
Shine for me
The Sweetest Condition
Taken in by the delicate noise
Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder
Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice
Wandering around in silent wonder
What chance did I have
With the silver moon
Hanging in the sky
Opening old wounds
Taking hold of the hem of your dress
Cleanliness only comes in small doses
Bodily whole but my head's in a mess
Fuelling obsession that borders psychosis
It's a sad disease
Creeping through my mind
Causing disabilities
Of the strangest kind
Getting lost in the folds of your skirt
There's a price that I pay for my mission
A body in heaven and a mind full of dirt
How I suffer the sweetest condition
Taken in by the delicate noise
Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder

Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice
Wandering around in silent wonder
When The Body Speaks
To the soul's desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
I'm just an angel
Driving blindly
Through this world
I'm just a slave here
At the mercy
Of a girl
Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much
To the soul's desires

The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
You keep me waiting
For the promise
That is mine
Please stop debating
Please stop wasting
Your time
Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much
The Dead Of Night
We're the horniest boys
With the corniest ploys
Who take the easiest girls
To our sleaziest worlds

With our lecherous plans
In our treacherous hands
You'd be wasting your time
Saying no, it's a crime
All that we live for you'll regret
All you remember we'll forget
We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
We're twilight's parasites
With self-inflicted wounds
Heavenly oversights
Eating from silver spoons
With our decadent minds
And our innocent lines
You'll be playing our games
With your bodies in flames
When delirious fun
Has seriously begun
You'll be down on your knees
You'll be begging us please
All we're demanding you'll supply
All we're accused of we'll deny

We're twilight's parasites
With self-inflicted wounds
Heavenly oversights
Eating from silver spoons

If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from
If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of

And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared
I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No I haven't been getting anywhere
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached

Hey girl
You've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay
We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No we don't know what we're doing here
We're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it clear
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
Comatose

Comatose, almost
You've got me dreaming
Slipping in
And sliding out
Of conscious feeling
Take a light
Start the flame
Play the game
I am lost
In your eyes
Hypnotised
Here I believe
Dreams never deceive
Comatose, almost
Slipping in
And sliding out
Life has no meaning
Bodies move
Colours change
Girl you're strange
Here inside
I'm at home
I'm alive
Don't be afraid
I'm floating away
Comatose, almost
Slipping in
And sliding out
Of conscious feeling
Comatose, almost
Comatose, almost
Comatose.
I Feel Loved
It's the dark night of my soul
And temptation's taking hold
But through the pain and the suffering
Through the heartache and trembling
I feel loved
I feel loved
As the darkness closes in
In my head I hear whispering
Questioning and beckoning
But I'm not taken in
I feel loved
I feel loved
From the depths of my emptiness
Comes a feeling of inner bliss
I feel wanted, I feel desired
I can feel my soul on fire
I feel loved
I feel loved
Breathe
I heard a rumour
They travel far
You know what it's like
The way people are
They talk and they talk
Though they don't understand
They'll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand
Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not so
I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while

I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine
Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on my chest
And breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
I heard it from Peter
Who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from someone
I don't know at all
I heard it from Mary
Who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the bible
She's telling the truth

I heard it from Simon
Who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah
That I was to blame
I heard it from Joseph
Who heard it from John
Who said with conviction
That all hope was gone
So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodbye
Easy Tiger

I Am You

You have bound my heart with subtle chains
So much pleasure that it feels like pain
So entwined now that we can't shake free
I am you and you are me
No escaping from the mess we're in
So much pleasure that it must be sin
I must live with this reality
I am yours eternally
There's no turning back
We're in this trap
No denying the facts
No, no, no
No excuses to give
I'm the one you're with
We've no alternative
No, no, no
Dark obsession in the name of love
This addiction that we're both part of
Leads us deeper into mystery
Keeps us craving endlessly
Strange compulsions that I can't control
Pure possession of my heart and soul
I must live with this reality

There's no turning back
We're in this trap
No denying the facts
No, no, no
No excuses to give
I'm the one you're with
We've no alternative
No, no, no
Goodnight Lovers
Here, somewhere in the heart of me
There is still a part of me
That cares
And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got
Even though I'm sure it's not
The best for me
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
I, I can see the danger signs

They only help to underline
Your beauty
I'm not looking for an easy ride
True happiness cannot be tried
So easily
And soul brothers
And soul brothers
You can take your time
I'll be waiting in line
You don't even have to give me
The time of day
And soul brothers
And soul brothers

Dirt
Dirt
Escrita por: Ron Ashton, Scott Ashton, Dave Alexander and Iggy Pop
Ooh, I've been dirt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been dirt
And I don't care
'Cause I'm burning inside
I'm the fire of life
Yeah alright
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been hurt

And I don't care
And do you feel it
Said do you feel it when you touch me
I said do you feel it when you touch me
I'm a fire
Well there's a fire
Yeah, alright
It's just a burning inside
It's just a burning inside
Said do you feel it
Said do you feel it when you cut me
Said do you feel it when you cut me
There's a fire
There's a fire
A fire
Inside
It was just a dreaming

Playing the Angel (2005)
Trabajo número once que el grupo publica en 2005. Es el primer album que
incluye una canción escrita por Dave Gahan. Los 12 temas que componen el
album son:
A Pain That I'm Used To, John The Revelator, Suffer Well, The Sinner In Me,
Precious, Macro, I Want It All, Nothing's Impossible, Introspectre, Damaged
People, Lilian, The Darkest Star
A Pain That I'm Used To
I'm not sure
What I'm looking for anymore
I just know
That I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be
Instead of me
But the key
Is a question of control
Can you say

What you're trying to play anyway
I just pay
While you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find
Have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive
That is fuelled
All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true
There's a hole in your soul
Like an animal
With no conscience
Repentance unknown
Close your eyes
Pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds
That are sown
Can't conceal what I feel
What I know is real
No mistaking the faking

I care
With a prayer in the air
I will leave it there
On a note full of hope
Not despair
All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true
John The Revelator
John the Revelator
Put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top
Where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size

Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God
As his holy right
He's stealing a God
From the Israelites
Stealing a God
From the Muslim too
There is only one God
Through and through
Seven lies multiplied by seven
Multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting
John the Revelator
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting
John the Revelator
He should bow his head in shame
By and By
By and By
By and By
By and By
Suffer Well
Escrita por: Dave Gahan, Christian Eigner, Andrew Phillpott
Where were you when I fell from grace
A frozen heart an empty space
Something's changed and it's in your eyes
Please don't speak you'll only lie
I found treasure not where I thought
Peace of mind can't be bought
Still I believe
Just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
An angel led me when I was blind
I said take me back I've changed my mind
Now I believe
From the blackest room I was torn
You called my name my love was born
So I believe
Just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell

The Sinner In Me
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
I'll never be a saint
That's not a picture
That your memory paints
Not renowned for my patience
I'm not renowned for my restraint
But you're always around
You can always be found
To pick me up
When I'm on the ground
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
If I could be free
I'm still recovering

Still getting over all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing
But you've always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall
When I start to slide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
If I could be free
Precious
Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
Things get damaged
Things get broken

I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through
Things get damaged
Things get broken
Left us so brittle
I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two
Things get damaged
Things get broken
Left us so brittle

Macro
Overflowing senses
Heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow
I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos
Talking right to me
Unlimited endless
God breathing through me
See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation
Thundering rhythm
Pounding within me
Driving me onwards
Forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening
Right there before me
Brilliantly shining
Intricate beauty
See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation
I Want It All
I see a river
It's oceans that I want
You have to give me everything
But everything's not enough
It's my desire
To give myself to you
Sometimes
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die it's true
Somewhere I'll find something that's kind in you
And I've crossed the line again

A line I drew in sand
And still you give me everything
But everything's not enough
I'm ready but not willing
To give myself to you
Sometimes
Come on over lay down beside me
And I'll try
Come on over lay down beside me
And I'll try
And I'll try
I want it all
Nothing's Impossible
Just give me a reason some kind of sign
I'll need a miracle to help me this time
I heard what you said and I feel the same
I know in my heart that I'll have to change
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
How did we get to be this far apart

How did we get to be this far apart
I want to be with you have something to share
I want to be here I'm not there
If you believe in love at first sight
Introspectre
Instrumental
Damaged People
We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of

Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of
When you're in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretence
And you're crying
When you're by my side
There is no defence
I forget to sense I'm dying
We're damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us
When I feel the warmth of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And dying
Lilian
Oh Lilian
Look what you've done
You've stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun
Oh Lilian
I'm a poor man's son
And precious jewels
Weren't found in schools
Where I came from
Pain and misery
Always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose
What you haven't got
Oh Lilian
I should have run
I should have known
Each dress you own
Is a loaded gun
Oh Lilian
Oh Lilian
I need protection
I hear your voice

And any choice
I had is gone
Oh Lilian
Once I'd begun
I couldn't stop
Till every drop
Of blood was sung
Pain and misery
Always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose
What you haven't got
Oh Lilian
Look what you've done
You've stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun
Oh Lilian…
The Darkest Star
Oh you sad one
Playing the angel
Isn't so easy where you're from
Oh you wild one

Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long
I don't want you to change anything you do
I don't want you to be someone else for me
Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
Stay as you are the darkest star
Shining for me
Majestically

Precious (Single)
Free
Free
I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me
That torture and blind me
And keep me from peace
Oh what heartache
Oh what heartbreak
Following me
Calling to me
I shall never be released

From the chains that bind me
That torture and blind me
And keep me from peace
I will never be laid to rest
Sisters and brothers
I'll never recover
From this tenderness
See what love brings
Hear what love sings
Sad melodies
Enticing me
A Pain That I'm Used To (Single)
Newborn
Newborn
Newborn
For the first time
I'm not born again
I have never lived at all
I've opened up my eyes
Now I hear the world talking
Opened up my eyes
I've just started walking
I've got someone who cares for me
Someone who believes in me

I've got someone understanding me
Someone crying over me
For all the right reasons
Newborn
For the first time
I'm not born again
I have never lived at all
I've opened up my eyes
Now I hear the world talking
Opened up my eyes
I've got someone seeing grace in me
Someone respecting me
I've got someone who's there for me
Someone saying prayers for me

Suffer Well (Single)
Better Days
Better Days
What are you hiding from
You are part of the sum
What has been going on
Your confidence has gone
You have seen better days
You have lived better ways
What are you waiting for
Answers that question more
Unexpected they will come
Are you expecting some

Only time will tell
What will come of you
Only crime could sell
What you're trying to
Where are you heading to
What plans will you pull through
With trouble in the wings
Will you risk anything

Martyr (Single)
Martyr
Martyr
I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my last breath
As I'm closing on death
I will call out your name
Nailed up on the cross
While you're having your fun
As the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost
I knew what I was letting myself in for

I knew that I could never even the score
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your feet
I have felt your deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried
Tortured every hour
From the day I was born
I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers
I knew that I would have to suffer in vain
Aware that I would never outgrow the pain
I've been a martyr for love…

In Chains
The way you move
Has got me yearning
The way you move
Has left me burning
I know you know what you're doing to me
I know my hands will never be free
I know what it's like to be
In chains
The way you move

Is meant to haunt me
The way you move
To tempt and taunt me
I know you knew on the day you were born
I know somehow I should have been warned
I know I walk every midnight till dawn
In chains
You've got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you
Anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me to
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you
Anything you ask me to
The way you move
Is mesmerising
The way you move
Is hypnotising
I know I crumble when you are around
Stutter, mumble, a pitiful sound
Stagger, stumble, shackled and bound
In chains
You've got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you
Anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you
Anything you ask me to
I'm in chains
In chains
Hold To Feed
We are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you mean the world to me
Your name was the one
That was always chosen
Your words and their kindness
Have set me free
Shame has a hold

That's kept us frozen
You opened my eyes to a world
That I could believe
Words can leave you
Broken inside
You'll have to decide
I'm hanging on to my pride
We are here
We can love
We share something
When you get what you need
There's no way of knowing
What you'll have
Is another hole to feed
The games that were played
Have left us hoping
The gift that we have —the life
That we breathe
This world can leave you
Broken inside
With nowhere to hide
I'm hanging on to my pride
We are here
We've been chosen

We've been blessed with a place
We need to find and then open
We are here
We can love
We share something
When you get what you need
There's no way of knowing
What you'll have
Is another hole to feed
Wrong
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to
The wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place
At the wrong time
For the wrong reason
And the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day

Of the wrong week
Used the wrong method
With the wrong technique
Wrong
Wrong
There's something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me inherently
The wrong mix
In the wrong genes
I reached the wrong ends
By the wrong means
It was the wrong plan
In the wrong hands
The wrong theory
For the wrong man
The wrong eyes
On the wrong prize
The wrong questions
With the wrong replies
Wrong
Wrong
I was marching to the wrong drum
With the wrong scum
Pissing out the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines

And the wrong signs
With the wrong intensity
I was on the wrong page
Of the wrong book
With the wrong rendition
Of the wrong look
With the wrong moon
Every wrong night
With the wrong tune playing
Till it sounded right, yeah
Wrong
Wrong
Too long
Fragile Tension
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh when it's flowing
There's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we have to care
There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer

We don't understand it
It never gets clearer
There's something mystical in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
Oh when we're teetering
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Through glittering galas
Without even trying
There's something radical in our hands
Nothing logical to our plans
Little Soul
My little light
Is going to shine
Shine out so bright
And illuminate your mind
My little soul will leave a footprint
This little voice
Is going to sing
I have no choice
It will infinitely ring
I'm channelling the universe
That's focusing itself
Inside of me
A singularity
My little words
Are going to sting
Haven't you heard
The pain and joy they bring
I'm channelling the universe
That's focusing itself
Inside of me
A singularity
Your little eyes
They're going to see
I can't disguise
The beauty inside me
In Sympathy
They're almost falling over you

Why don't they call a truce
Whatever they are trying to do
It's of little use
They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
And though they speak with eloquence
There is little truth
You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
I'm watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
Their tedious obscenities
Your patience never ends
And as the night begins to fade
You're heading for the door
Followed by a sad parade
You're on your own once more
You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough

You've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
Peace
Peace will come to me
I'm leaving bitterness
Behind this time
I'm cleaning out my mind
There is no space
For the regrets
I will remember to forget
Just look at me
I am walking love incarnate
Look at the frequencies
At which I vibrate
I'm going to light up the world
I'm leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows
That it cast
There is a radar in my heart

I should have trusted
From the start
Just look at me
I'm a living act of holiness
Giving all the positivity
That I possess
I'm going to light up the world
Just wait and see
It's meant to be
Just wait and see
It's an inevitability
Come Back
Come back, come back to me
I'll be waiting, patiently
I'll be waiting here patiently
Walking a thin white line between love and hate
Wasting all of my time in another world

In another place
I could use a little company
A little kindness could go a long way
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear
I'll be waiting, patiently
I'll be waiting here patiently
Light will always shine in the heart of you
In truth and in reality
Only blindness can hide it away
I could use a little restraint
A little kindness can go a long way
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Living the same delusion
Come back
Spacewalker
Instrumental
Perfect
On another world by another star
At another place and time
In another state of consciousness
In another state of mind
Everything was almost perfect
Everything fell into place
The jury reached a different verdict
Before the judge dismissed the case
In a parallel universe
That's happening right now
Things between us must be worse
But it's hard to see just how
And everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right place
Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned and disgraced
I didn't shoot, I didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me I'm just a plain and simple singer

I heard the sound, I turned my head around
To watch our love shot down
In another lonely universe
We're laying side by side
And no one's hurt and no one's cursed
And no one needs to hide
And everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights
Miles Away / The Truth Is
It's one of those conversations we've, we've had them before
The ones that leave you empty and wanting for more
Your eyes they tell me something that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is
You're miles away
Excuse me for my hesitation I've, I've met you before
Your face seems so familiar and longing for more
You're miles away
With all your superstitions and empty lines

I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive
Life it has it's limitations we all have our needs
Love could be the only answer it lies underneath
You're miles away
Jezebel
They call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
You're going straight to hell
For wanton acts of sin
They say
And that I'll have to pay
But I need you
Just this way
For what you like to wear
You're morally unwell
They say you'll never care
For me
But what they fail to see

Is that your games
Are the key
Open their eyes to the beauty
Open their hearts to the fun
Open their minds to the idea
That you don't own someone
Whenever men walk by
They say that they can tell
The longing in your eyes
Is real
And how you really feel
But they can't see
Your appeal
Jezebel!
Corrupt
I could corrupt you
In a heartbeat
You think you're so special
Think you're so sweet
What are you trying
Don't even tempt me

Soon you'll be crying
And wishing you'd dreamt me
You'll be calling out my name
When you need someone to blame
I could corrupt you
It would be easy
Watching you suffer
Girl, it would please me
But I wouldn't touch you
With my little finger
I know it would crush you
My memory would linger
You'd be crying out in pain
Begging me to play my games
I could corrupt you
It would be ugly
They could sedate you
But what good would drugs be
But I wouldn't touch you
Put my hands on your hips
It would be too much to
Place my lips on your lips
You'd be calling out my name
Begging me to play my games
Light
Take my hand
And walk in the light
Understand, there's a fire to ignite
You know we have a responsibility
It's true we've been chosen
And now we have the possibility
Of melting what's frozen
Walk with me with the rapture inside
Can't you see it's not our place to decide
You know we have to make a case for love
It's more of a duty
It's clear we have a mission from above
A mission of beauty
You know I wouldn't lie to you
What would I achieve by that
It's more than I would try to do
These are the facts
Take your place here
With love in your heart
Just embrace what you've known from the start
We are fulfilling our only destiny
The angels have spoken
And all the gods in the universe agree

The spell can't be broken
The Sun And The Moon And The Stars
One subtle look
God help me
Is all it took
To sell me
One single word
Unspoken
Your name unheard
And I'm broken
The sun and the moon
and the stars in the sky are laughing
They've seen it all before
For the wind in the trees
and the waves on the seas
It's the same thing
They can't take any more
One gentle touch
and I'm helpless
It's all too much
For my senses
One simple prayer

Denied me
When you're not there
Beside me
The sun and the moon
and the stars in the sky are laughing
They've seen it all before
For the wind in the trees
And the waves on the seas
It's the same thing
They can't take any more
Ghost
I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head
One touch is all it took
To draw you in
To leave you hooked

One kiss, you paid the price
You had a taste
Of paradise
Now you're running in circles
Chasing imaginary footsteps
Reaching for shadows
In the bed where I once slept
I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head
One thought is all it takes
You lose control
You make mistakes
This pain will never leave
Until I die
You'll always grieve
Now you're falling to pieces
Seeing my face wherever you go
Talking to strangers
From a place they'll never know

Oh you've got a way about you
Oh I know so much about you
Girl
Life won't be the same without you
Life will surely be the one to tell
Listen to what she's trying to tell you
She could be the one who's going to save you
Oh well

It's nothing to feel ashamed about
Nothing I can complain about
Oh well

Wooooaaaa mumma
Listen to what she's trying to tell you

Higher, Alone, Soothe My Soul, Goodbye, Long Time Lie, Happens All The
Time, Always, All That's Mine
Welcome To My World
Welcome to my world
Step right through the door
Leave your tranquilisers at home
You don't need them anymore
All the drama queens have gone
And the devil got dismayed
He packed up and fled this town
His master plan delayed
And if you stay a while

I'll penetrate your soul
I'll bleed into your dreams
You'll want to lose control
I'll weep into your eyes
I'll make your visions sing
I'll open endless skies
And ride your broken wings
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
We'll watch the sunrise set
And the moon begin to blush
Our naked innocence
Translucently too much
And I'll hold you in my arms
And keep you by my side
And we'll sleep the devil's sleep
Just to keep him satisfied
Angel
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so small
The legs beneath me weakened

And I began to crawl
Confused and contented
I slithered around
With feelings beyond me
I was lost, I was found
And Lord I felt so weak
I felt my tongue move in my mouth
And I began to speak
A strange kind of language
I don't understand
A babbling fountain
I couldn't have planned
Oh leave me here forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
And Lord I felt so high
I swear I could have reached up
Placed my hands upon the sky
A radiant rainbow was following me around
With elevated senses I could see and taste sound
And Lord I felt so clean
Like a preacher on Sunday
My heart was serene

I waded into the water
I was bathed, I was drowned
Like all sinners before me
I knelt down on the ground
Oh leave me here forevermore
Oh let me sleep forevermore
Heaven
Sometimes I slide away silently
I slowly lose myself over and over
Take comfort in my skin endlessly
Surrender to my will forever and ever
I dissolve in trust
I will sing with joy
I will end up dust
I'm in heaven
I stand in golden rays radiantly
I burn a fire of love over and over
Reflecting endless light relentlessly
I have embraced the flame forever and ever
I will scream the word

Jump into the void
I will guide the herd
Up to Heaven
Secret To The End
Escrita por: Dave Gahan, Kurt Uenala
Oh when I look at you
I'm probably the same way too
I got a feeling that it's coming soon
Could this be the end
When I look around this room
There must be something I can do
Can I convince you that it isn't true
We've come to the end
Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
Oh the book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you, Would have been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, Could have been you)
(Should have been you)
It seems so obvious to you
You're feeling what I am feeling too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
Thank God I'm not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
It's who I am, it's not like you
Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
The book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (Could have been you)
(Should have been you, Could have been you)
(Would have been you, Could have been you)

(Should have been you)
My Little Universe
My Little Universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day
Beautiful emptiness
Surrounds me
I take small steps
I'm making progress
In a non-specific way
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no-one in
No-one
No-one
No-one
Limited consciousness
Preserves me
It protects me
And just connects enough
To keep the wolves at bay
My Little Universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no-one in
No-one
No-one
No-one
Slow
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
So I can feel all I want to know
Slow, slow
I'll go with your flow
Let the world keep its carnival pace
I prefer to look into your beautiful face

What a waste
Let the stars continue to fly by
I don't have one desire to understand why
I don't try
Slow, slow
I want my senses to overflow
Slow, slow
And doesn't it show
I don't need a race in my bed
When speed's in my heart
And speed's in my head instead
It's tempting for fools to rush in
When something's so good
Why should we rush a thing
It's a sin
Slow, slow
That's how I like it
I like it
I don't need a race in my bed
When speed's in my heart
And speed's in my head instead
Slow, slow

That's how I like it
I like it
Broken
If you want control
Without any pain
How long will you suffer
How long you reign
You see the friend that I need
Cannot be found
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There's a place where I go
Without any sound
Only you can reach me
Only you're allowed
Then you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember
A time without tears
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there

You were broken from the start
When you were a child
You'd dream all day long
You'd dream of the future
And get lost in your songs
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make, it I will be there
You were broken from the start
The Child Inside
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside
The shallow grave in your soul
The ghosts there have taken control
You really should have dug a little deeper there
Body parts are starting to appear and scare
The child inside away
Each tear that flows down your face

Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A river that will not subside
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart
I can see you drifting away
Heading for the light
I can see you drifting away
Every night
Why were you always inside
On days when the weather was fine
And while we were running around
You were nowhere to be found
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
But you were made to play games with your soul instead
The child inside you died
Soft Touch / Raw Nerve
Have I got a soft touch
Is my radar that off
Is my radar that off

I'm thinking if you're sinking
Then I'll drown
I've got a confession
Your depression will take me down
Am I on the right track
Am I on the right track
Have I picked a bad time
Have I picked a bad time
It's seeming that you're dreaming through my eyes
Why protest when your success is my prize
Oh brother, give me a helping hand
Oh brother, tell me you understand
Have I hit a raw nerve
I'm thinking if you're sinking
Then I'll drown
I've got a suspicion that your position is unsound
Oh brother, give me a helping hand
Oh brother, tell me you understand

Should Be Higher
I dream of a day when I dare to believe you're the answer
When the shame and the guilt are removed and the truth appears
Oh the touch of your hand, I lose who I am if I want to
I try to resist but succumb to the bliss of your kiss
You should be higher
I'll take you higher
Don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray
Your lies are more attractive than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down there in your book
Love is all I want
Your arms are infected
They're holding the truth
Oh stop all your crying
This one you'll lose
I'll take you higher
Don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray
Your lies are more attractive than the truth
Love is all I want

Your lies are written down there in your book
Love is all I want
Alone
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest
Through your failures and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn't see much happiness or pain
I couldn't save your soul
I couldn't even take you home
I couldn't fill that hole
Alone
I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn't tell if you were blessed or cursed
There's a thin grey line
Between the black and the white
It's evidently hard to find at night

I couldn't play that role
Alone
Now it's too
Too late for
Words that should have been said long ago
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest
I couldn't fill that hole
Alone
Soothe My Soul
I'm coming for you
When the sun goes down
I'm coming for you
When there's no-one around
I'll come to your house
Break down the door
Girl I'm shaking
And I need more

There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way (only one way)
I'm coming for you
I need to feel your skin
I'm coming for you
To stop this crawling
I'm taking my place
By your side
And I'm not leaving
Until I'm satisfied
I'm coming for you
My body's hungry
I'm coming for you
Like a junkie
I can't stop
Desire in me
I'm not waiting
Patiently
Goodbye

It was you that took my soul
Threw it in the fire
Tamed it in the rapture
Filled me with desire
Now I'm pure, now I'm clean
I feel cured and serene in you
There is no denying
How I have been changed
You won't hear me crying
Now misery is strange
I can dream, I can fly
Now it seems I get by with you
Goodbye pain
Goodbye again
I was always looking
Looking for someone
Someone to stick my hook in
Pull it out and run
Now I'm caught on your line
All my thoughts are entwined in you
Goodbye pain
Goodbye again
If you see me walking
To the Golden Gates

Turn around, start talking
Stop and hesitate
I'll be waiting up there
With my fate in the air for you
Goodbye
Long Time Lie
Escrita por: Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore
It's been a while since you did something
Not so long since you complained
You sit around here doing nothing
Every day
You're the coward who points the finger
I understand that I'm helping you
You have delusions in some spaced-out fantasy
That's what you do
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
Don't you ever look in the mirror
Don't you know there's so much more

Locked up inside that box behind your door
All your twisted conversations
When you're sitting all alone
Just remember we know your secret
While you moan
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
A long time lie
Happens All The Time
No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars, we crash and burn
Only to return
Life goes by so fast
So who is left to blame
Nothing's quite the same
We can't live in the past
I'm burning as hot as the sun

And I've only just begun
Love, it fades so fast
Sometimes I forget
All I will regret
When I leave this world behind
Sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
I know I've had enough
Maybe far too much
It's easy to be blind
When it's just me and you
I know what I have to do
I can leave this world behind
No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars, we crash and burn
Only to return
Times they change so fast
Sometimes I forget
All I will regret
When I leave this world behind
Sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for

Always
The well is dry and the stream runs shallow
And the sun is high and the field lies fallow
My tongue is tied and my body aching
Now I'm open wide and afraid of breaking
The food is hot and the table's ready
But my stomach's knots make my hands unsteady
So I take to pacing up and down the room
While my heart keeps racing and my mind's consumed
I just want to be part of the light of the light of the light of the light of the
light in your eyes
I just want to be part of the light of the light of the light of the light of the
light in your eyes
The bed is made and the candles burning
All our games are played and the clock keeps turning
We're out of tricks with the silence cutting
And the daggers stick as the doors keep shutting
I just want to be part of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight of the
fight in your eyes
I just want to be part of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight of the
fight in your eyes
Always
Always, forever
All That's Mine
I know it's hard to reach you
I know it's hard to breathe
I know it's hard to be you sometimes
I can't imagine what that means
This must be someone else's story
I can't follow what you've planned
How can this be about me
Am I supposed to understand
Like a ship on the ocean
Heading out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
You're still looking for redemption
Still can't find a trace
If there is nothing after
There'll be no saving grace
I'm giving you control now
I need some kind of sign

Come take away this sorrow now
I gave you all that's mine
Heading out to sea
It's a lot like you
Heading out to sea
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
Otras Canciones
Escrita por: Written by Ron Mael (originally performed by Sparks)[1] .
When she's on her best behaiviour
Don't be tempted by her favours
Never turn your back on mother earth
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return
To my friends
To my friends
I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother

DEPECHE MODE (Basildon, Essex, Reino Unido, 1980). Es una banda
británica de música electrónica formada por Vince Clarke, Andrew Fletcher y
Martin Gore, a quienes se unió poco después David Gahan, quien en realidad
fue el autor del nombre. Tras su álbum debut Speak & Spell en 1981, Clarke
dejó el grupo y fue sustituido por el músico Alan Wilder, quien permaneció
hasta 1995. Actualmente, Gahan, Gore y Fletcher continuan con el proyecto
como un trío.
Según el documental de Historia del Rock de la BBC «son los padres del rock
electrónico»; está considerado uno de los mejores exponentes del género,
siendo importantes precursores del uso del sintetizador como instrumento y
del sampler como recurso musical, así como de la realización de videos
musicales. Depeche Mode ha vendido más de 115 millones de álbumes,
sumando el total de ventas de sus discos en todo el mundo, incluyendo
sencillos, convirtiéndose en el más exitoso grupo de música electrónica en la
historia. También fue elegido entre los 50 mejores grupos de música de todos
los tiempos y uno de los 10 más influyentes de la música contemporánea.
Depeche Mode se convirtió en «la banda de rock electrónico más popular que
el mundo ha conocido», según la revista Q, y «uno de los más grandes grupos
de pop británico de todos los tiempos», de acuerdo al Sunday Telegraph.
